Bronxville, N.Y. – Freshman Mackenzie Heizer (Vacaville, Calif.) earned her fourth win of the season and drove in six runs as the College of Mount Saint Vincent Softball team downed St. Joseph's-L.I. by a score of 11-7 on Saturday afternoon. The Dolphins connected on four home runs in the game and had five players with at least two hits.
 
After falling behind by a run in the first, the Dolphins struck for three runs in their first at bat to push in front by two. With two on and two outs in the inning, Heizer connected on her first home run of the day to give the Mount the lead. She delivered Danielle Maffei (Valhalla, N.Y.) who singled and Kathleen Davis (Beacon, N.Y.).
 
St. Joseph's-L.I. would answer with two runs in the third inning to tie the score at 3-3, but the Mount rallied again with three more runs in the home half of the inning to move in front 6-3. After Davis and Heizer singled, freshman Kierstyn Bourdeau (Cheshire, Conn.) ripped her first career home run.
 
The Golden Eagles would add two more runs in the fourth and a run in the fifth, but could not hold Mont Saint Vincent off the scoreboard. The Dolphins plated three more runs in the fourth and a pair of tallies in the fifth to extend their lead. Heizer hit her second three-run home run in the fourth inning and Maffei connected on a two-run round tripper in the fifth to close out the Dolphins' scoring.
 
Heizer finished the game at the plate going 4-for-4 with a pair of home runs, three runs scored and six RBI. Maffei went 2-for-4 with a run and two driven in with Joann Guerra (Bronx, N.Y.) and Davis each going 2-forf-4. Davis scored twice in the game for the Dolphins.
 
Davis made the start in the circle for Mount Saint Vincent and allowed three runs on six hits in 3.0 innings pitched. She struck out three and walked one in the no decision. Heizer came on to work the final 4.0 innings and registered five strikeouts. She surrendered four runs on eight hits as she moved to 4-1 on the season.

With Saturday's win, Mount Saint Vincent moves to 7-2 overall on the season and to 3-2 in Skyline Conference play. The Dolphins will return to action on April 1 when they play host to St. Joseph's-Brooklyn. First pitch at Van Cortlandt Park is scheduled for 4:00 p.m.
